Another article has been posted! In this article I talk about some of my training experiences with a very strong player who eventually became a very good friend of mine. I also deal with some of the anxieties of traveling and the kind of obstacles I ran into.

I recently started writing a series of articles for the web site ChessIQ. It is a series of twelve articles, appearing weekly. I will be posting the link to the articles each week. I decided to experiment a little with the subject matter, simply writing about some of my experiences ‘on tour’ and see what came out. Hopefully, the people reading will get a new vantage point on what life as a professional chess player is like.
